Kapton wire chaffing issues that led to short circuits and fires.

Great! And now our gloating will make sure they never make that mistake again. What is this a friggin’ game we’re playing?

To give you an idea: I attended the Virginia Military Institute. We had a number of M60A2 main battle tanks for the tankers to play with. I recall sitting in a world history class on level 4 or 5 of Scott Shipp Hall one fine day when suddenly the tanks started moving out. They were probably a quarter to a half a mile…

You're also an asshole btw.

Never fear America. If anyone tries to invade Camden, NJ, the USS New Jersey will send them packing in a hurry.

There were open cockpit cars out there as well. The bumper of a pickup truck is at head height for them. Take my word for it, that's not something you want to see from an open cockpit car.

Ever try to slow down on slicks on a freshly wet race track? Go to your local hockey rink, get up a good head of steam in your street shoes, and then try to stop. Now you've got the idea.

Forester has low range.

Just a thought: maybe they should make the test longer.. Then perhaps we would have drivers on the road that knew how to operate their vehicles.

Bear in mind, he had just finished a lap at 204mph, so was not fully on pace. This incident could have been more serious had he been more on it.

Difference is that flip wasn’t caused by aerodynamic forces.

They’ll put the new prison there. There’s been talk of that for some time.

Learn to make an argument without resorting to gutter language.

Or perhaps, since it isn’t your vehicle, you could treat it with some respect and not beat the shit out of it. Oh, wait, no, then you wouldn’t be motoring “journalists”.

Carbon brakes on a street car are ridiculous.

It's happened. In New York. Christians were angry. None tried to kill anyone as a result.

I doubt very much that anyone can just walk up and volunteer to be a track worker (ie: marshal) in F1. It’s certainly never been the case in my experience.

The Comet went on to become the Hawker Siddley Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft which served with the RAF until 2011, so it did find a reprieve in military service. Even if it had succeeded commercially though, I’m inclined to believe that the militant labour unions in England would have done to any successful…

I’ve seen two of them! The Lane Motor Museum in Tennessee has one in addition to the Petersen. Interesting bit of kit. Well worth a visit to check it out - and all the other crazy vehicles that live at Lane.

How does the movie “Battle of Britain” not make the list?!
